  • Fallout 1: If you play it going in blind and don't look up help, a first playthrough can be stressful early on if you don't know how much progress you are making on the time limited main quest.

    Kenshi: The game doesn't have quests or main goals, so it is up to the player to figure out what they want and how to get it. Certain game areas are lethally dangerous, factions can be angered if you don't figure out their customs, and even in less lethal areas being beaten and crippled by bandits is a real problem.

    The Amazing Spider-Man #129: The Punishering

    I just picked up the 2025 Facsimile reprint of The Amazing Spider-Man #129, the issue that introduced the Punisher.

    I genuinely appreciate the old art and the old school coloring. Seeing it freshly reprinted on quality paper rather than faded in an original old comic really kicks up the effect of the colors.

    The heavy use of blue on black with sharp definition rather than modern digital gradients is a great look for the Punisher's costume.

    The plot of the issue is simple, the Punisher is hired a Spider-Man villain called the Jackal. The Punisher is told that Spider-Man is a murderer.

    Even in this first appearance, most of the core pillars of the Punisher are laid down. He is a marine veteran on a crusade agains

  • The immunity regarding official acts pertains to judicial proceedings. An impeachment is a legislative proceeding. While it uses judicial terms like "trial" it is not the same thing and can not directly result in criminal conviction or sentencing.

  • An impeachment conviction results in removal from office. The previous impeachment proceedings did not result in a conviction.

    (Edit for additional information: While an impeachment uses terms like "trial" and "conviction" it is not a judicial proceeding. It is entirely a legislative proceeding which is formatted to resemble a judicial one, but is not bound to judicial procedure and it also can not produce a criminal conviction or sentence.)

  • If somebody agrees to work for me at below minimum wage and seems enthusiastic about it, am I still exploiting them? What if I'm paying them $15/hr but no medical, 401k, or other benefits because it's under the table? Is it not exploitation, even if the person is happy to get the wage?

    It seems a very different situation between legal, documented immigrants being represented by a legitimate job placement company, vs undocumented immigrants who are being paid unknown wages and have much less ability to negotiate.

  • Some factories run 24/7, yet individual workers do not have 24/7 shifts.

  • What does that have to do with unrepresented immigrant laborers? Do you think they are really getting a union level wage?

  • I thought the reason we spent so much time with the stupid rebels was to really make sure we knew how dumb they are. This will be so that there's no question why they screw up a mission on Ghormon. I imagine an ISB intermediary supplying them with a lot of explosives and telling them to blow up an Imperial target, but the ISB ensuring the group ends up blowing up civilians instead.

  • Tay laid it out to Mon: He went out on a limb to help her hide her money and activities, he feels she hasn't properly rewarded him, his existing investments have been hurt by the rebellion, and his personal life has fallen apart.

    He's a loose cannon.

  • From his conversion with Mon in episode 2 where he talked about being undervalued and the rebels having caused damage to his investments it was instantly clear to me that he was a problem that was going to be solved.

  • I presume we aren't counting the people who are heads in jars? Even if they have shiny new bodies?

  • The symptoms you're describing point to "shitpostus eruptus." It's a terrible disorder where the shitpost tries to leap out of the shitposter and directly onto the internet.

  • Stick some money in your walls. I'll get it.

  • Far Cry 5 strangely has very enjoyable fishing.

    I made more backdrops for photos

    I like adding backdrops and bases to frame photos of minis. I've had a few but, my old red sky was small and I wanted a space backdrop and an urban base.

    The new backdrops were painted in dollar store canvases with cheap acrylics.

    I made the urban base out of a dollar store wood frame and random bits in a bin.

    The construction was pretty slapdash. This isn't diorama quality but just enough to make photos of minis feel less empty. Similarly, the paintjob is not flashy. I avoided the urge to add colorful points of interest to the base, to make sure focus stayed on the minis.

    7.62x39mm AR-10 made for Finnish military evaluations

    Sadly, I don't have a ton of information on this model. I stumbled across it on a Small Arms Illustrated page and poked around online.

    The most complete information I could find was a photo of a snippet from a book:

    Text from the photo:

    Left side closeup of the final 7.62x39mm Finnish prototype, produced for trials in 1960, showing the unique features that it and only it embodied. This one-off was produced from a standard lower receiver with a modified magazine well, cut through the middle of the existing standard manufacturer's markings and retrofitted with a magazine guide behind the new, curved magazine.

    The charging handle extension lever was reversible from the right to the left side, based on shooter prefe
